Our team of nurses in Bean Station have been meeting with some amazing midwives that will be seeing patients in Morristown beginning in February. If you’re looking for a certified midwife, these women are phenomenal and truly care for their patients. Here is some information on a few of these lovely women. We are so thankful for them to be able to serve in our area. They will be on call 24/7 at the hospital and provide wonderful care to our special mamas in the clinic as well.

🎄 Keep Little Ones Safe This Holiday Season 💙

In 2022, 70% of child poisoning deaths in Tennessee were accidental.

This time of year, curious hands can find things they shouldn’t — like medicine, cleaning products, or small items that can be dangerous.

✨ Be prepared:
Save the Poison Control number and share it with everyone who cares for your child.
If you think a child may have ingested something harmful, get free, expert help 24/7.
